Meet Our Leadership Team

Dr. Stuart Hamilton is the founder and CEO of the Eau Claire Cooperative. He attended Trinity College, in Hartford, CT and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. After training in pediatrics, he joined the Commissioned Corps of the U. S. Public Health Service and served in rural Chester, South Carolina. It was eye opening to witness the level of need and oppression, and he purposed to build a more effective and compassionate healthcare system. The Eau Claire Cooperative is that system.

After 34 years, it has become South Carolina’s largest and most effective community health center system. The Cooperative is constantly being refined to better address the needs of traditionally underserved populations while maintaining excellent measures of care. The Cooperative remains true to its mission of service in the spirit of the Good Samaritan.
